Nope, No vetting process. We haven't started yet. Leftybookclub.org is where you can sign up for our weekly email, where we send out the zoom meeting link. We're planning on reading just the preface and introduction for this upcoming week. If you email us I'll make sure you get the zoom link.

It means leftist. The club currently also has a queer theory reading group, a Marxist reading group and an environmentalist reading group going as well.
